- EXAMPLE.
-
- Insert the <applet> tag in your html document as follows to add this applet
- to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code descriptions and
- acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet language):

- INSTRUCTIONS.
-
-
- The following instructions describe how to change parameters:
-
- Attempting to change the credits parameter will disable the applet.
-
- To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased
- from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from
- the registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
- when the applet is mouse-clicked.
-
- If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
- for the reglink:
-
- "_blank" : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
- "_self" : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
- "_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
- "_top" : To load the link into the top body of the window.
-
- You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".
-
- With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
- be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
- NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be animated only on latest
- browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
-
- With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.
-
- The size of the applet is determined by the "width" and "height" tags.
-
- With "particles" parameter you choose the particle mode from values from 0
- to 7.
-
- With "random" parameter set to "1", a random effect will be displayed. If you
- instead set it to "0", the effect selected by the "script" parameter will be
- displayed. Here are the abailable "script" parameter values:
-
-
- 0 - Circular Galaxy
- 1 - Sphere -> Ring
- 2 - Tubular Galaxy
- 3 - Spiral Galaxy
- 4 - Rotating System
- 5 - Into Sphere
- 6 - Supernova
- 7 - Sphere -> Tubular
- 8 - Wave -> Atom
- 9 - Cone -> Wave
- 10 - All effects one color
- 11 - All effects all colors
-
-
- With "gpalette" parameter (0 .. 5), you choose the palette of a galaxy:
-
- 0 = white
- 1 = blue
- 2 = red->black
- 3 = red->violet
- 4 = green
- 5 = red->white
-
- You can enable the light persistence, setting "persist" to a value higher
- than 0. The max is 128, but the best results are arond 20.
-
- You can set a persistence variation too, placing a value higher than 0.0 in
- the "dinamic_persist" parameter. It accepts float values: 0.5 , 1.3 etc.
- This value will be a "speed" of transition between the min and max persistence
- set with "dinamic_min" and "dinamic_max" parameters.
-
- Of course, min must be smaller than max!
